No problem! Just make sure you're not ONLY taking my word for it after you've properly learned the champion. It'll probably worth challenging my take on Sterak's Gage a month down the road.
I have a theory about her pick conditions. If you can draft an Akshan with her you can reduce the damage caused by Briar inting. His R and W also help clean up after Briar's messy fights. They seem to make a very powerful snowballing early game catch duo/team core. To turn this into a full team, I like to add a Karthus to keep the 'int to win' theme going. Karthus R (like Akshan's) is a long range ability that can be used to support Briar and Aksha's catch attempts. Plus Karthus bring late game scaling to the team and can fight so much more aggressively because Akshan can (theoretically) just revive him. Add in a tank and/or some enchanters to keep the team alive longer and the team is complete. Champs I like for this are Ornn, Gragas, Maokai, and Keld and Renata, Rakan, Millio, Soraka, Karma, Taric, and Lulu.
The fatal flaw with this idea is that it forces Karthus to lane alongside an enchanter - which more often than not throws away all of his consistency in the early game - in exchange for a comp that's pulling itself in two directions. The Akshan/Briar concept is an interesting approach, and a flex B1 Karthus DOES actually create a plausible pick condition for weirder junglers like Briar alongside a physical partner. But what you've done is create a teamfight core around two champions who don't play nicely in teamfights; Akshan and Briar both play cleanup very well but neither thrives at the start of a true 5v5. So is this meant to be a teamfight comp or a pick comp? As is, it's neither. Even if you pivoted to a proper pick comp by substituting your enchanter for an aggressive melee support, you've dropped the Briar synergy you were trying to build around and she starts competing with ALL of the assassin junglers (and Rek'Sai). We just keep running into issues. But maybe there is still something there. Maybe a double enchanter Briar core with Akshan top IS a unique take on the hypercarry/enchanter archetype that gives us the ability to freely int 5v5 without major consequence. You might be cooking - it just needs more time in the oven with more factors considered.
at 15 minutes you say W doesn't benefit from quickblades until W2 has been cast, but the w goes on CD as soon as you hit the first cast, its not like Kled w that doesn't go on CD until the 4th auto is done.
You are sleeping on Collector First item. Also, Navorii Quickblades is really good if you just want to spam your W and your E isn't up. Just press W and your E is up in mere milliseconds.
Also dont be afraid after you kill 2 persons and are like half hp, if you have a lot of kills you will heal and help you team further. Who cares if you die win is a win
